Why below Microsoft Linkedin rest api don't expect the encoding of reserved characters for query param value ?Ex: dateRange query param value

Sample request given by the Microsoft
GET https://api.linkedin.com/rest/adAnalytics?q=statistics&pivots=List(CAMPAIGN)&dateRange=(start:(year:2021,month:1,day:1))&timeGranularity=DAILY&campaigns=List(urn:li:sponsoredCampaign:1234567)

As per the below RFC ':' should be encoded as '%3A' .
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt (Page 3)
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-2.2

Refer the doc link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/ads-reporting/ads-reporting?view=li-lms-2024-01&tabs=http#statistics-finder

If we try to encode the query param value according to above RFC then getting bad request error.
